Rate limits are applied for the Merchant API. # Consumer & EntryPoint API Limits No rate limiting is applied to the EntryPoint and Consumer APIs - however anti-gaming mechanisms are in place. These are confidential and are unlikely to be met in normal operation. # Merchant API Limits The Merchant API applies rate limits over a 5 minute window. You may make as many as N requests in that 5 minute period. e.g. if the limit is 100 you could: * Make 20 requests every minute * Make 100 requests in 1 one minute, then no more requests for 4 minutes If you exceed the limit, a `429` error response will be returned. We will return the following headers with each request (regardless of whether the limit is exceeded or not): * `X-RateLimit-Limit` - what is the limit applied to this API endpoint? * `X-RateLimit-Remaining` - how many requests can you make before you exceed the limit. If the number is 0, you will receive a `429` error * `X-RateLimit-Reset` - the number of seconds before the rate limit resets The documentation for each API describes the rate limit that applies to that endpoint. ### Hitting the limit? If you're regularly hitting our rate limits, please speak to us - we can advise on optimal patterns to deploy or increase your limit depending on your use case.
